There are two solutions -- pick your poison:
1. You're using the xml syntax jsps. You could put in a empty comment
tag to prevent tomcat from collapsing the tag, ie:
<div class="myClass"><!-- non-render spacer --></div>
2. Don't use the xml syntax in your jsps. Then the emtpy tags won't be
collapsed.
In my design I chose #1 for those rare, rare occasions when I need it
(script tags come to mind). Of course you could ask your designer why
he put in the empty divs and see if you can work out a different way of
handling it. If it's just a formatting hack there may be a better way
via css.

Hi folks,
Our designer put together a beautiful HTML version of our new site design.
I'm now sucking it into Magnolia, and found an odd quirk that I'm not sure
the best way to work around.
The designer's HTML is this:
<div class="txst-banner-extra1"></div>
<div class="txst-banner-extra2"></div>
I've inculded this as-is in my template file. However, since JSP treats
those pretty much like XML, what Magnolia emits is this:
<div class="txst-banner-extra1"/>
<div class="txst-banner-extra2"/>
It seems perfectly legitimate if you're thinking in XML, but apparently even
when using XHTML Strict, Firefox doesn't seem to think the two are
equivalent. Specifically, with the latter case, txst-banner-extra2 is
treated as a *child* of txst-banner-extra1, even though extra1 has already
been closed.
As a workaround, I can change the template code to this:
<div class="txst-banner-extra1"><jsp:text/></div>
<div class="txst-banner-extra2"><jsp:text/></div>
But that seems a terribly clumsy way to keep the divs from collapsing. Is
there any better way to approach this? Some sort of JSP processing directive
seems in order, but I haven't found anything appropriate.
Thanks in advance for any help.
